About Terry Covert

Welcome to The Covert's Moose Lodge. Mike and Terry Covert are the proud owners of this fine establishment. The land had been in the Covert family name since 1960. The original structure located where Covert's Moose Lodge now stands was originally a hunting cabin, built in the 40's in New Jersey, dismantled and reassembled here in the 70's. It was torn down to make way for the new lodge in 2001.

The Covert's Moose Lodge was completed in June 2002. It is two stories tall and has 22 foot ceilings in the living room, with an antlered chandelier, gas fireplace and of course, a large Montana Moose Head (taken in 1953).

Terry Covert purchased this lodge in 2002

Why Terry Covert chose New York

Mike is an avid bird hunter and has traveled throughout the United States and Canada, hunting and staying in various places as he went. The lodge was a concept that he and Terry designed by taking all of their good experiences and combining them into one ideal place to stay.

Mike and Terry know that when you come here, you'll enjoy the peace and quiet and feel very relaxed when you leave. Thank you for considering Covert's Moose Lodge. We look forward to meeting you!

What makes this lodge unique

The lodge was designed by Mike Covert. It is a natural wood design with over 13,000 ft of tongue and grooved pine on its walls and hosts all of the modern amenities. It has a side covered porch with gas grill and hot tub on the front deck. The deck has tables with chairs for setting and relaxing. The front deck overlooks a meadow, hills and large ponds.

60TH Birthday Getaway!

One of my husband's bucket list items was to visit The Baseball Hall of Fame, so I decided to surprise him with a weekend trip for his 60th birthday! I did extensive research on lodging options in the area before deciding on the Moose Lodge. The lodge exceed all of my expectations!! It's off the grid, private, clean, well appointed and meticulously maintained. The weather was cool, windy and rainy but did not dampen our spirits or our stay. We enjoyed every minute and would go back again in a heartbeat.

Terry was very helpful and responsive. She met us at the lodge when we checked in and showed us around, then checked in on us via email during our stay. We knew she was always available but never intrusive. This rental is a true jewel! We were so lucky to have the opportunity to stay here. Thanks so much Terry!!!

Weekend Getaway

We stayed here for our 10th Anniversary.. Serene and quiet. We saw Turkey, deer, geese and ducks and did some fishing. The lodge itself was very clean and comfortable ! Terry was very accommodating. We would highly recommend staying here. Also very close to Cooperstown, breweries and wineries !

Great Stay at the Moose Lodge

My siblings and I had a truly great 3-day stay at the Moose Lodge. The location of this place is just one of it's outstanding features. It has a beautiful scenic view from the front porch and just the kind of great privacy that we were looking for. Cooperstown, the Baseball Hall of Fame, and other attractions are only about 10 minutes away. Terry was there to meet us on our arrival, was very friendly, and explained the features of the Lodge. The place is in great condition and extremely clean. We had a fantastic time and I highly recommend the Moose Lodge for families and groups visiting the Cooperstown area.

Very clean. Updated but rustic place. Great owners!

We loved our stay here for a bachelor party. Plenty to do within a short drive of the lodge. Breweries. Cooperstown. Oneonta. If you're looking to just escape, this is the place as well. Plenty of beautiful scenery and you can enjoy it from the deck complete with hot tub! Very lovely owners. Terry was a pleasure to work with. Would highly recommend and would definitely stay again.

Perfect lodge off the beaten path!

Just returned from a 5 day vacation to the Cooperstown NY area. Our stay at Covert's Moose Lodge was perfect. The lodge is situated on a secluded road and as you arrive the views are breathtaking. From the pond on the property, the rolling hills and beautiful green meadow. The lodge was spacious, modern with a wonderful kitchen and again the views from all the windows. Only 10 miles from Cooperstown it was an easy drive to Main Street, Ommegang Brewery, Glimmerglass State Park and all museums. The home was decorated beautifully, has a hot tub, front porch, open deck, gas grill, washer/dryer and so much more. I world definitely tell my friends and family about this beautiful retreat. Terry was a pleasure and was there to welcome us when we arrived. She took her time to show us around and made sure we were comfortable. We didn't want to leave. Hope to visit Terry and her beautiful home again.
